RE: Let's get real....
Awsome point... I'm looking to buy a new bow and I was looking at all these FPS specs. I'm going to take this aspect into consideration

RE: Let's get real....
ORIGINAL: TFOX As for broadhead flight, accuracy comes in the setup, tuning and fletch. The quicker you get your arrow spinning out of your bow, the sooner and quicker it stabilizes in flight regardless of it's flight speed. But,you do agree that all little imperfection become much more magnified at greater speeds,therefore,forgiveness has been compromised at greater speeds? How many 320+ fps bows do you see at the indoor nationals or the Vegas shoot? |
RE: Let's get real....
The answer Greg is NONE,but I am also thinking that a fixed blade broadhead becomes less forgiving in flight at greater speeds.A head that isn't perfectly aligned will be magnified at greater speeds.

I've been using Wasp SST hammers for the last 12 years because they are a tough, quality head and they spin test amazingly well. I only have to mess with about 1 out of 24. Also, by limiting my speed to 275 fps, the 4 pins on my fixed pin sight (which I prefer) are not tightly packed together. The spacing is just right for seeing the target. |

Out of interest what distances are you taking your shots? |

I agree 100% Rock,most my shots are under 30 yards ,just 1 over that.Bad broadhead flight at 30 yards can be drastic. |
RE: Let's get real....
My 4 pins are sighted in for 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards. I do not hunt out west. Most of my whitetail shots are taken at 20 yards or less.

The more I read from a lot of you guys, the more I realize how much I am lacking in the whole shooting game. You guys have some knowledge! Thanks for the info gentlemen.
